Alcohol Taste Testing

Solutions in Marketing abides by the State of Illinois Liquor Commission's guidelines in all alcohol taste tests. We have a fully trained and licensed bartender on staff to ensure the rules from the governing commission of the state of Illinois are completely followed.

When recruiting for alcohol taste tests, we must have 3 weeks notice so that we can notify the commission on the project. This generally is done while recruiting.

Protocol and Responsible Drinker Provisions: Participants will be aged 21 to ____ years of age and are required to present government issued photo identification, prior to beginning each interview. Participants are instructed to eat something before coming to their interview. They must sign a release form to attest that they are of legal drinking age, they have no medical condition that requires them to avoid alcohol and they have not had any alcohol beverages twelve hours prior to their scheduled appointment. They may not drive themselves home. Therefore, they must have a designated driver take them home (designated drivers must “sign-in” at the facility). Sandwiches, snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided after consumption of the samples.
